How would you guys go about this one?
April 03, 2008darkelf said...
I think i would pick away at the black stuff with a pin..i would take ages and enjoy every second of it....then good old squeezing when a decent hole was made....there are hours of fun in this bad boy!
April 03, 2008emilbus20 said...
get some face protection then say a lil prayer and squeezeeee!!!
April 03, 2008letmegetmyfingersonthat! said...
going with darkelf on this one. Work on that blackhead for a while, although I think I'd like to get it out in as big of a piece as I could, then I'd take a picture of that. Then it's the cyst's turn. I'd take my time, and have somebody filming as I work. I'm guessing that the contents are pretty dark in color and harder by now. Maybe I'd need a dental pick.

god i love this site.....!!!!
April 03, 2008pimplepoppinmama said...
with this picture. I'm wondering if it is authentic. That hole is just a bit too perfect looking. You can do a lot of things with Photoshop. Where did you find this picture? At a medical website? If not I would definitely question it.
April 03, 2008darkelf said...
I have had a few zits where you get a little hard greasy bit of cord out..not much but hard enought o be felt between your fingers..anyway.....i have flicked some of these on a open fire we have at home..god..you should hear how they sizzle..even for a small cord/cheese thing.
April 03, 2008cantbelievethatshit said...
I mean... wouldn't you be scratching at this HUGE thing on your neck? How could it get that mzitive, with such a huge head, and not even pick at it a little? I want it to be real... but wow....
April 03, 2008letmegetmyfingersonthat! said...
You could be right. Take a blackhead picture, blow it up, and stick it right smack in the middle of a picture of a large neck cyst. Now my heart is broken. Sob! Boo-hoo, sniffle.

Just a side note: A little doubtfulness is ok, but too much can be as bad as being too gullible. I know an old man (from a previous job) that is a very cynical person. He is relatively intelligent, but can also be very cynical, to the point of being almost retarded in some issues. (Not saying that you are like him, but you would definitely want to avoid becoming like him.) Here is (probably) your answer: Go to dermet dot com, click on 'Cyst', then click on 'Epidermal Cyst', and then click on page # 11. (note- among the zitorted cysts on that site, there are a couple pics of cysts in genitals scattered about)
April 03, 2008SuperNinja said...
Sorry, that is supposed to be dermnet, not dermet.
April 04, 2008jennyc42 said...
but this has been photoshopped. It just doesn't look right.
April 04, 2008jennyc42 said...
The more I look at it, the more I am sure this is FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!
April 04, 2008crong said...
as superninja says, go to that web address and you will find a perfectly legitimate MEDICAL SITE full of actual cysts, pimples, skin thingys etc etc etc. Hours of fun. There are many more weird and wonderful cysts there believe me!! It is NOT a fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez!!!!
April 04, 2008Zitzstress said...
But this thing does look more like an entire third breast, like yumyum said. I can't believe someone would just walk around all the time with this on their neck and not seek medical attention, or something!
April 04, 2008pimplepoppinmama said...
but no one has of yet told me the web site for THIS particular picture. I have been to dermnet so I have seen all those photos. I just want the web site for this one.
April 04, 2008letmegetmyfingersonthat! said...
is asking a very reasonable question. Show us this picture in it's original setting, and all questions will be answered.
April 04, 2008letmegetmyfingersonthat! said...
It's real. I just checked out page 11 on Dermnet. I pasted the Url in the title, but who knows how it will actually print? Oh, I'm so happy, it's real. What a monster, and how could someone let it go for so long?
April 04, 2008cantbelievethatshit said...
So now i beleive... but can't beleive they wouldn't pick at that! I wouldn't leave my house before I had dug that monster out and examined it to my heart's content...(I think I need to get my head checked!!LOL)
April 04, 2008pimplepoppinmama said...
I emailed dermnetacne to see where they get the pictures. There are still inconsistencies on this particular photo. Look at the width of his neck in relation to the length of his neck. Seems to be out of whack. Also the hole seems much larger than any pore would get yet it has a nice even edge... not broken like the skin would be when stretched out so far. My vote is still way out on this one. Just because it is on a website doesn't make it legitimate. Also, dermnet isn't a medical website. Just a site for photos about skin conditions. No doctor has made notes on this photo or any other photo on that site. When I see authentication for this photo the I will believe. Until then I still say it is fake.
April 04, 2008jennyc42 said...
If you want to call someone a tard, look in the mirror. Your useless rant about some guy you knew who was cynical to the point of being retarded was irrelavent. If your so sure you have all the answers, where is your proof this is real? I'd be happy to listen to anyone with the FACTS, but you just sound like an arrogant troll.
April 04, 2008SuperNinja said...
Your insistence of the picture being 'FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!' is no less arrogant or trollish. You want to insist it's fake, fine you PROVE it's fake. And don't just give us your stupid opinion. I've already done my part and posted the source of the pic.
April 04, 2008SuperNinja said...

put a www in front of that link
April 04, 2008SuperNinja said...
A LOT of people go through much worse than this patient, before they seek treatment. How many news stories have you heard of where a person had a 50lb (or heavier) cyst, but didn't seek treatment until it reached gross proportions? Or how many news stories have you seen about people that became so obese that they were close to dying? Or how about someone like this guy?: snopesacne/photos/medical/maggots.asp (put a www in front of the link)
April 04, 2008SuperNinja said...
And replace the snopesacne with snopes dot com.
April 04, 2008SuperNinja said...
'but no one has of yet told me the web site for THIS particular picture.'
That particular picture IS on page 11, as I mentioned earlier.
April 04, 2008jennyc42 said...
I'm not insisting it is fake. I don't know if it is or not. My point was that I was giving my opinion that it looked fake. And I can, and will, give my opinion because that's what this is for. It is a comment section. That is all I started out doing, until you your arrogant self felt compelled to call me a "tard". I could give a **** if it's fake or not, but you were out of line.
April 04, 2008pimplepoppinmama said...
I'm not so sure why you want this photo to be real. Which website do you want me to believe? at www. dermnet dot com I find the photo. at www. dermnet dot org dot nz I find doctors. The two sites don't seem to be related and in the A-Z list I didn't even FIND epidermal cyst. I'm not even sure why they are calling this an epidermal cyst when it looks much more like an open comedone.
April 04, 2008SuperNinja said...
'until you your arrogant self felt compelled to call me a tard'
1. Well, you posted 'FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!', immediately after I posted the LEGITIMATE source. 2. 'I could give a **** if it's fake or not'. If you don't care, then you have no reason to insist so strongly.

The two sites don't seem to be related and in the A-Z list I didn't even FIND epidermal cyst.' 1. Go to the www. dermnet dot org dot nz site 2. click on 'for doctors' 3. click on ' Worldwide dermatology links for doctors' 4. click on 'images'
Now, on that page, could you please tell me what the 3rd link under the 'images' catagory is?
April 05, 2008jennyc42 said...
'here is (probably) your answer' is what you stated before I posted. You weren't so sure yourself, obviously. How do you even know that is a LEGITIMATE source? Did you contact the 'doctors' and discuss it with them? And, in case you haven't noticed, I wasn't the only one doubting this picture. I agree with ppm...it looks like a comedone, not a epidermal cyst.
April 05, 2008SuperNinja said...

Ok, I believe I owe you an apology...the exact picture from this site is there, I can see. The site does look reputable but I still think this looks like a comedone, not a cyst.
April 05, 2008SuperNinja said...
Thank you. I do get overly worked up during arguments, it is a common trait for me. I'm sorry I went off on you.

Yes, it does look like that.

a lot of things seemed to be thrown in under the title 'cyst', when they are actually giant comedos.
April 05, 2008cantbelievethatshit said...
Not interested in getting into a verbal wrestling match. I guess I'm just speaking for myself here, couldn't handle having something you could probably see from the moon, on my neck without even attempting to pick at it. Many people suffer with really amazing growths because it's either too costly to get it removed, or if it isn't considered life-threatening by the medical community, not necessary to remove. It's amazing what people have to live with because they don't have the means or opportunity to do something about it either.
April 06, 2008Lets all get a life said...
I am going to be very careful what I write about this one. After reading all of the comments, I was preparing my underground bunker for WWlll. I jusy think the core of it looks like a baby's dried up embilical cord, just before it falls off. I hope I haven't pissed anyone off.
April 06, 2008jasonskyle said...
I will donate bone marrow for a video of it's removal. I am serious.
April 09, 2008MASHIT said...
I work in a dermatologist's office, and yes I do zitist a physician who loves to do acne surgery. He's about 82 years old, but he still gets the same chill every time he gets a patient with a face full of blackheads (my favorite too). He gets on one side of the face and I get on the other, and we save the little plugs and we race to see who gets the most. We definitely use gloves and sterilized stainless equipment, but sometimes I catch him going after some with his fingers and I do too at times (need well-fitting gloves) and the grease from the kid's face makes things slippery. This is an addictive behavior! He'll do this until he drops dead. Not many of the younger dermatologists do acne surgery, but an uninflamed obviously old comedone, whitehead, etc. needs to be removed immediately with just a tiny bit of pressure to keep the scars at a minimum. Sometimes, it is just too late. The skin already has a hole (sometimes the skin will fill back in). This doc can literally take a horrible case, put them on oral and topical antibiotics, Vitamin A 100,000 I.U., Vitamin E 400 U, Hibiclens (to wash face in--it is sterile). He is careful about irritants such as 2.5% - 5% B.P., and he will use Accutane with a really stubborn large cystic inflammatory case that antibiotics won't help right away. That medication can be dangerous. He also uses liquid nitrogen sprays. I saw him when I had acne 20 years ago and he had me clear in 45 days and I was really bad and inflamed. He couldn't find one zit on my face after 45 days! He was impressed with my method of removing my own blackheads and knowing which ones not to go for yet. I got my nurse's license and that old man was still there and he hired me. Damn was I lucky!
April 11, 2008pimplepoppinmama said...
I'm calling you out. Give us some evidence of this 82 year old dermatologist. Post some pictures of him and your office. I don't believe a word you typed, no offense. Just too much to believe.
